The Chart of the Day belongs to Acceleron Pharma (XLRN). I found the biopharmaceutical stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for the highest technical buy signals then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/28 the stock gained 58.25%.

Fundamental factors:

Market Cap $1.53 billion
Revenue expected to grow 123.30 this year buy decline 21.80% next year'
Earnings estimated to increase 31.30% this year but decrease by 64.30% next year
Despite these downward projections Wall Street analysts issued 4 strong buy, 1 buy and 2 hold recommendations on the stock

The most reliable technical trading strategy has been the 5 day moving average vs. price but that caused a lot of trading. If you have this stock I'd put in a moving stop loss 10% below he recent high to protect gains.
